Android - communication with Laravel API

I'm writing an Android app that communicates with a Laravel API using JSON calls. It should also support register and login. I've been searching for some tutorial/example on how to do this, but the only one I found is this one: https://github.com/ProgrammationAndroid/Laravel-Passport-Android



But the video is french and it's also slightly outdated. I'm pretty sure there must be plenty of tutorials/examples on how to do this but it just can't find them. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? I don't need to write the API itself, only calling the API from an Android client.

  • Did you even google it? I found this on the first search medium.com/modulr/…. Also check laracast and/or codecourse for en tutorials.

Laravel Passport / OAuth 2.0



Laravel makes API authentication a breeze using Laravel Passport, which provides a full OAuth2 server implementation.





Grants



The OAuth 2.0 specification is a flexibile authorization framework that describes a number of grants (“methods”) for a client application to acquire an access token (which represents a user’s permission for the client to access their data) which can be used to authenticate a request to an API endpoint.




  1. Authorization code grant

  2. Implicit grant

  3. Resource owner credentials grant

  4. Client credentials grant

  5. Password grant

  6. Refresh token grant



Which OAuth 2.0 grant should I use?



A grant is a method of acquiring an access token. Deciding which grants to implement depends on the type of client the end user will be using, and the experience you want for your users.




Grants





Implementation (1st party / Native app / Password grant)



Create an application



Passport will prompt you for more information about your client and will provide you with a client ID and secret :



php artisan passport:client --password


Requesting tokens



# http://laravel-app.tld/oauth/token
[
'grant_type' => 'password' # Grant type
'client_id' => 'client-id' # Application client ID
'client_secret' => 'client-secret' # Application client secret
'username' => 'email@domain.tld' # Form request
'password' => 's3cr3T' # Form request
'scope' => '*' # Scopes
]
